Operating with an office-based team of 20 and a dedicated, field sales force situated across the country, they provide crucial at-height safety solutions for construction and civil engineering companies across the UK.
The client possessed a skilled, nationwide field sales team who theoretically had the capacity to handle their own outbound calling and lead generation. However, because cold calling sat outside of their comfort zone and wasn’t something they enjoyed, outbound consistency simply wasn’t there because the task was consistently pushed to the end of the week, or neglected entirely.
This left the business overly reliant on referrals and passive inbound enquiries. This meant that they lacked the predictability and volume required to keep a national field sales team consistently busy and scaling at pace.
To unlock a predictable, steady pipeline of sales opportunities, we designed and executed a structured, human-centric outbound campaign:
Rigorous Contact Mapping: Unlike larger enterprises with centralised procurement divisions, smaller target organisations featured highly fragmented purchasing structures. We spent significant upfront time identifying and verifying the exact individuals responsible for health, safety, and facilities procurement.
Cold Calling Legwork: Because purchasing roles varied so greatly across target accounts, automated approaches wouldn’t cut it. Our team combined highly targeted data preparation with “old-fashioned” telemarketing legwork: making the physical dials, navigating gatekeepers, and having high-quality 1on1 conversations.
Seamless Field Team Handoff: We established a smooth pipeline where qualified interest and booked appointments were fed directly to the local field sales agents to pick up, visit, and close.
Sales Desired-Desire Gap Closed: We transformed outbound from an internal sales bottleneck into a consistent, outsourced engine, removing the burden of cold calling from their field engineers.
Reliable Lead Pipeline: The client transitioned from sporadic inbound dependence to a steady, predictable flow of fresh, qualified business opportunities.
Maximised Field Efficiency: Field sales reps stopped spending their time frustratingly looking for leads and shifted their focus entirely to what they do best: visiting sites, consulting on safety requirements, and winning business.
